Exhibits showcase photographs, artifacts, and presentations that reflect how this place is remembered and understood by those who interpret it. The displays show what this location means to people who share its history with visitors.
A visit requires advance permission through authorized tour operators, as the museum sits within a military-controlled zone. Travel arrangements must go through official channels, and visitors should expect guided tours as the standard way to see the site.
